javamonkey insights into the world of caffeinated monkeys

Thursday, July 08, 2004   Poor Puppy I think that I deserve a medal. Today, I managed to catch some very stinky, very liquid diarrhea in a bowl and not get it all over me. And I'm not talking about anything coming out of my ass and going directly into a toilet; I'm talking about Cinnamon. Poor puppy...she had an episode of very explosive, very watery diarrhea yesterday, and hasn't had a solid poopy since. So, I take her in to work with me, but I need to get a sample of her poop so we can run some tests on it. I put her in a run and hope that she'll just have diarrhea and I can get a sample. But she doesn't, so the alternative is to take her for a walk and try to stick some sort of container under her butt to catch a sample. I managed to catch a sample of the most horrid smelling substance on earth. Forget nuclear and chemical weapons, just fling doggie diarrhea at your enemies. It was foul. But the good news is that although she has diarrhea, and has blood in her diarrhea, she will get better. She has no nasty worms or infections or parasites, just colitis and a sensitive stomach. So she'll get a course of anti-diarrhea meds, a course of medicine to calm the muscles in the GI tract, and a brand new, very strict, very bland diet to keep her colitis under control. And even though she can't have treats, she can have lots of love and hugs. So, send some love her way and let's hope she feels better soon. posted by jaime | 8:40 PM 0 comments
